Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broad reach for vintage glass collectors), Etsy (best for 'Vintage French' branding), Facebook Marketplace (avoids high shipping risks/costs).
Selling Tips
Shipping glass is risky; double-box the item and use plenty of large-cell bubble wrap. Use keywords like 'French Country,' 'Grandmillennial,' 'Tablescape,' and 'Scalloped Edge.' Highlight the 'Made in France' aspect in the title.
